The managers are ever reluctant to make public appeals, encouraged as they have heretofore been, to exercise that faith on which this enterprise was originated "the Lord will provide" and which has ever proven to bo well founded and Is now pre-eminently sustained by the masonic contributions so often repeated by the gi und lodge of Mississippi and the subordinate lodges in different parts of the State. By these timely donations the managers have been enabled to continue the work of sheltering the destitute orphans; and without which the asylum would have been abandoned.

It will be remembered that O'Connell, although indulging often in the moss severe attacks on others, declined dueling, and publicly avowed this determination.

This gaye rise to a charge of cowardice In Ireland a very rare and very detrimental accusation. He was iu fact a man of great personal courage, and showed It on the occasion referred to. A gentleman named D'Esterre endeavored to fasten a quarrel on him, and he vainly endeavored to avoid an encounter. The unfortunate D'Esterre paid for his per-verseness with his life, and the still more unfortunate O'Connell expiated his moral timidity, in not refusing the duel, with much mental anguish to his death. There is no doubt that he most reluctantly engaged in the combat.

He was the father of seven children, and it was an alternative of life or dcatli with him, Esterre being reputed an unerring marksman, An account of the duel was given by Charles Phillips, the celebrated Irish orator who recently died. "Being one of those who accompanied O'Connell, he beckoned me aside to a distant portion of a very large field, which had a slight covering of snow, said he, 'this seems to me not a personal but a political affair. I am obnoxious to a party, and they adopt a false pretense to cut me off. I shall not submit to it. They have reckoned Without their host, I promise yon.

D'Esterre rather agitated himself by making a short speech, disclaiming all hostility to his Roman Catholic countrymen, and took his ground, somewhat theatrically crossing his pistols upon his bosom. They fired almost together, and instantly on the signal, D'Esterre fell, mortally wounded.

There was the greatest self-possession displayed by both. It seemed to be a duty to narrate those details in O'Connell's lifetime whenever I heard his courage questioned, and justice to his memory now prompts me to record them here.

From the New Orleans papers we learn that the vote on the question was very close, the yeas belug 14U to 138 nays. After the announcement of the vote the house went Into committee of the whole, with S.

S. Cox, In the chair, and the debate was opened by Mr. Morrison. He was followed by Mr. Kelly, of Pennsylvania, against, and Mills, of Texas, in favor of the bill.

All the representatives from Mississippi voted In favor of the consideration of the measure, and all of them are counted on with possibly the exception of one, to vote far the bill on its final passage. It Is thought that the discussion will be continued some fifteen or twenty days, and that evening sessions will be held for its consideration. A large amount of gas will undoubtedly escape before the measure is disposed of, as it is the question upon which the presidential canvass will be largely conducted. Thirty-nine democrats are recorded as voting against taking up tiie subject, and others are calculated upon to vote against the passage of the bill one of whom, Hunt, is from Louisiana. The vote on the consideration Is reported in the Times-Democrat's specials as having produced the most intense excitement of the session, and the announcement of the adoption of the motion as received with loud clapping of hands which lasted fully two minutes.

When Mr. Morrison began his speech he wiib surrounded by groups of anxious listeners from both parties, und he was often interrupted with applause. It is well known to our readers that we have all along expressed the opinion that it would be unwise on the part of the democratic majority to undertake any radical revision of the tariff at the present time for several reasons. In the first place there is too great a variation of sentiment among the democrats themselves upon the subject for the hope to exist for anything like unity of sentiment. What may be styled the Randall wing of the party have too many interests that require protection for them to fall In readily with the "tariff for revenue only" doctrines of the followers of the speaker.

The author of the letter is well kuown in this city as one of the most practical and observant men on the overflowed region, and he has had the opportunity of many years residence In the Tensas basin for his observations In the action of the river.

The letter of Mr. Smythe Is exhaustive in regard to the principal phenomena of the river, and we would gladly lay It before our readers, but Its great length makes its publication by us impossible. Mr. Smythe admits that the denudation of the lauds of forests has an effect on the rainfall of the country, but there is now no way of remedying the results of this denudation, as the owners require the lands for different uses. The superior drainage, too, of thocountry is considered as another cause of rapid rises in the rivers, and this, (oo, cannot be remedied.

He says very truly that "levees and jetties differ only In name. And levees will have the same effect on the channel of the river as the jetties have had at the mouth." We quote a synopsis of his views on the subject, from the Times-Democrat: "As to the theory that levees are the cause of the cut-offs, he calls attention to the fact that for centuries before a mile of levee was constructed on the Mississippi It was making cut-offs nearly annually. All through Northern Louisiana and Mississippi are to he seen hundreds of lakes, which are nothing but old beds of the river, which it deserted to muke a cut-off. "In reply to the argument that with the levees down the river would deposit on its banks, and thus make its own levees, he shows that tills work would be very slowly dune, it having taken the Nile a century to raise its banks six inches, and even if the river did raise its banks, it would raise its bed at the same time, and thus overcome any advantage from this deposit. "Again, on the proposition that there Is gome connection between high water and levees, he cites from the records of the stage of the river kept In Tensas, the most complete known.

Dr. Gibbons, lu the Pncltlc Medical uud Surgical Journal, cites a case of hypochondria in which a farmer imagined his nose to be a bundle of hay. He took care not to go near a horse or cow lest his hay nose should be destroyed. Men are more likely than women, says the doctor, to have hypochondria, though women have hysteria oftener than men.

In other words, before lovees were built, that portion of country was under water nine years out of ten. Its overflow, therefore, can scarcely be attributed to levee building. "Another popular error Is the belief that that the hlghwater of 1882 wasuprece-dented, and never had been or would be equaled. As a matter of fact, in nine floods out of fifty, the water was above 1882. A careful review ol levee building in this State proves, Mr.

Smythe shows, that with proper levees the entire flood can be retained within banks. A great deal ol money had been wasted on levees; station in this city Is a branch ot the signal service station at New Orleans, and was opened some weeks ago under Its auspices.
